I use to attract the wrong audience.
- I didn't know anything about my Target audience.
- I spent time and resources on people who weren't interested in my business.
- Made 0 $$
But lately I've had 4 clients.
Here's how you can attract your target audience:
>>๐งต<<
I'm 17.
Not in uni.
Never made $10k/mo.
Haven't retired my parents.
I've got so much to achieve.
That's why I can never quit.
It's not about where I am but where I'm headed.
The journey just begun.
Don't be fooled!!
You don't need to be at 1k followers to make it big on X,
I started making money off X at just 90+ followers.
It's time to let that your product/service shine.
No waiting required!
I'm 17,
And while some are sipping, I'm sowing.
No drinks.
No smoke.
No fraud.
Just me worshipping the Lord & learning a digital skill.
My friends call me weird,
I call it staying true to myself.
I'm embarrassing my 'weird' to craft the life I dream of.
Before X,
I tried Instagram - Failed.
I tried LinkedIn - Failed.
I tried Reddit - Failed.
Every journey starts with obstacles.
Expect setbacks, & embrace the lessons.
Keep pushing, Keep learning.
That's how you win.
For 6 months,
I've been on X.
I haven't grown from 100-1000 in 31 days,
But I still show up regardless.
It's not about the speed of progress,
But the Consistency of efforts.
One step at a time.
Every step counts.
Celebrate your small wins!!
They said.
I just crossed 100 followers guys, it may look small but it's very big for me.
Thanks for those who supported me and found me worthy of their follow.
200 is the next target...๐๐งก
'You have to be consistent.'
'Show up daily.'
'Consistency matters alot.'
Yet you show up on X once a month.
Be consistent in your actions,
Not just your words.
Stop the information overload!
You don't need every sales tip before you start selling,
Start with the little information you have,
You learn better by doing.
A summary of my online Journey:
2023: Affiliate marketing.
2023(Sept): Lead gen strategist.
2024: Social media manager/lead generation Strategist.
It took me nearly a year to find my spot.
The long term game rocks!
When I started on X,
I wasn't fully ready.
- Using AI for content creation.
- No Consistency.
- No engagement.
But now, it's the opposite.
All because I started.
Just start,
You'll figure it out along the way.
I've made 0$
I don't know what to do.
I opened a beach umbrella shop,
But no one bought.
Wondering why?
It was because I was selling beach umbrellas in a desert.
That's how you look like when you don't make proper research on your target audience.
Be different!
Don't be the "Oh, seen it before" vibe in your audience feed.
Stand out!
Be the moment they weren't expecting.
Keep it real, keep it you.
August 23,
I started my X journey.
I had:
- No clarity.
- No connections.
- No ideas.
Now I have all 3.
All I did was to follow & learn from others doing better than me,
then I applied it.
That's all you need to grow.
Dreaming is easy,
But the hustle sets the wannabes apart from those that really want it.
You can act like you want it,
But only those who do what is required will get it.
It doesn't get simpler than that!
Just a simple reminder:
Don't be jealous when you see your neighbors making it.
God won't take your blessings and give it to someone else.
Just so you know.
You've to break free!
Stop letting excuses control you.
I began my online Journey at 15.
No excuses, just raw ambition.
Kill those excuses & get started.
You'll thank yourself later.
Let's face it...
They tell you to standout by being 'YOU',
Well, there are people who will hate you for that.
That's why I say, don't stop!
If everyone likes you, then you're doing something wrong.
Keep on being 'YOU'.
That's how you attract your tribe.
I may get hated on for this...
But I'm gonna say it anyways.
You've got to remove that deadline you have for yourself to achieve things.
That might be part of what is making you depressed.
God makes things work in his own time.
Just have faith in God, & trust the process.
You're getting it all wrong...
You're not losing sales because you don't know your product,
You're losing sales because you don't know what prospect's problems are.
Understanding the problem is more important than the solution.
Got it?
Yeah I did!!
I started as a Pro.
Absolutely not.โ
Nobody started as a pro,
The mentors and coaches you see today were once a beginner.
The beginner's phase is something you can't escape.
You have to learn and put in the necessary work to grow.
Stop it!!
Stop looking for "best times to post on social media" articles,
Go do some testing yourself to find when the best times are for your audience.
Before X,
I tried everything:
-Facebook.
-Instagram.
-Thread.
You name it, I've tried them all.
Nothing worked till I found X.
It's where I made my first $.
Never stop till you find what sticks.
What if I don't make it?
What if I end up making 0$ before this year ends?
What if I burnout?
Thoughts like this gets to me everytime.
But I don't let these negative thoughts stop me,
I still put in the work, because I know where I want to be tomorrow.
I made 0$!!
I don't know what to do.
I'm lost...
I opened an ice cream shop, and I started selling.
Guess what,
Nobody bought my ice cream.
Well, it took me a while before I found out the reason...
It was because I was selling ice cream in a cold area.๐
Still struggling to make more sales?
It's time to shift your mindset.
Don't cling to desperation.
See it as you've already made many sales,
Because the less you need the sale,
The more you sell.
I want you to think about this...
Some people dream of success while others get up and make it happen,
It's either you get up and work towards your dreams
Or
you continue sleeping and let your dreams end in bed.
I'll let you decide.
I tried everything,
Felt like nothing was working.
3 months later,
I made my first $.
After all the trials and failures,
I found what worked.
Never stop till you find what sticks.
Patience & Consistency pays.
I started X in August this year,
I had:
- No clarity.
- No connections.
- No ideas.
Now I have all 3
All I did was to follow others doing better than me,
And I learnt from them,
then I applied it.
Lesson there?
I hate my life!!
Was what I said when I was younger,
Just for being a Nigerian.
I always wished I was given birth to in abroad.
Thought that's where people get to live better,
But I was wrong.
Just be thankful for where you are now, some people wish they had what you have.
I never needed it!
I never needed X growth hacks,
because there are many gurus out there giving out misleading info on this.
Here's what I did:
- I Stopped looking for growth hacks
- Found what works for me & I stuck with that.
- I Always ask for help even when not needed.
At August 2023,
I started building on X.
I made mistakes like:
-Creating content with chatgpt.
-Being inconsistent.
-Not engaging with others.
But now:
-I create my own content.
-Im consistent.
-I engage & build relationship with others.
Lesson there?
Don't let the 'perfect start' trap delay you.
If you're still waiting for April 1st,
This year may just be another year that goes to waste.
Get started now,
Your future won't wait!
No matter how things change,
There are somethings that can never change,
One of them is...
As long as you keep on putting in the work,
Success will surely knock at your door.
Don't be fooled!
No matter how hard you learn,
You can't always get your desired results only when you chase 'FREE'
If you really want your desired results,
Then you've to start paying for:
-Online Courses.
-Personal mentorship
-Email marketing tools...
You don't do follow-ups.
You lack proper targeting.
You have a poor messaging.
Yet you wonder why you can't get leads.
Go back to basics & work on your approach.
To go viral is bad!
You heard me right,
Well only when you go viral for the wrong reasons.
You shouldn't go viral for creating silly platitudes,
Because people will see you as a joke, not an authority.
Don't create content for virality,
Create content for impact.
Hey!!
Don't be depressed.
Everything you're going through is preparing you for what you asked for.
You asked for a character, and you're developing a great one.
Keep on Striving, I'm rooting for you.
Stop the information overload!
You don't need every sales tip before you start selling.
Start with the little information you know.
You learn better by doing.
If you're a freelancer on X or any other platform,
Looking to build your brand,
And your profile says...
1. Name: Young DC white.
2. Profile picture: Mark Zuckerberg.
Then you're just wasting your time.
You're getting it all wrong...
An irresistible offer isn't:
- Buy 2, get 1 free.
- Get this product now & get a 50% discount.
- A time limited offer.
An irresistible offer is when a client looks at it and says:
"Heck, I'd be a fool not to do this for myself."
Got it!?
You create weak content
You don't understand your target audience
You fail to build connections with others
You overlook search engines optimization.
And you complain that 'the market is saturated'.
I keep hearing how people say:
'X is a crazy platform'
'I find it hard to generate leads from X.'
But do you know statistics say business that uses X actively are twice as likely to get leads compared to a business that doesn't use X.
So why aren't you using X?
Dream of making money?
Start selling low ticket product.
Dream of making more money?
Start selling high ticket product.
Dream of getting rich?
Combine both.
How to generate 1.5k quality leads per day.
=> You can't even generate 5 leads daily.
How to get 1k views on your YT videos.
=> You got 50 views after uploading that video.
Don't promise what you cannot give just because you want attention.
June 2023,
I started my online Journey.
I had:
-No laptop.
-$0 in my name.
-Poor power supply.
But still I got started anyways.
No matter your circumstances,
Take the first step towards your dreams.
Your future self will thank you for it.
June 5, 2023,
I started an online business.
I got started with affiliate marketing.
- Bought a course to learn.
- Spent a month studying.
- Made my first $ 2 months later by taking action.
You learn before you earn.
Don't attempt the opposite.
Stop focusing on the wrong things.
1k followers to buy from you,
Beats 10k followers that followed you for your stupid platitudes.
Chase authority, not just clout.
Prospect: Hey Josh, I'm finding it hard with organic lead generation on Facebook.
Me: Ok, what's your name on Facebook, so I can check your profile out to see what's wrong.
Prospect: my name is Joeboystanely
Me:๐
At the beginning of this year,
I learnt digital marketing,
I had to ask my Dad for money to get started.
The biggest mistake I made while I started, was not building my personal brand sooner.
I'm glad I've started though.
There's no better time like now.
I give up!
What I told myself few weeks ago.
I got frustrated.
I haven't been active on X this past few wks,
I had personal issues to deal with,
I tried to show up but got shadowbanned 2wice.
But did I give up?
Hell No!
I'm back & stronger
P.s: Anyone notice I was gone?
You're getting it all wrong...
Marketing isn't about manipulation.
It's about being the solution to someone's problem.
Be the guide they're searching for,
Not just a seller.
Build trust and success will follow.
